Since coming off the disabled list, Alex Rodriguez has been better at the plate than before he was shelved with a strained right hamstring. However, Rodriguez’ calling card — power — has been missing and that hasn’t bothered Yankees manager Joe Girardi at all.

After going 1-for-4 with a double and two RBIs in the Yankees’ 6-3 win over the Angels at Yankee Stadium on Thursday, the designated hitter is 14-for-53 (.264) since May 26. Of those 14 hits, four were extra-base hits: two homers and two doubles.

When Rodriguez went down he was hitting .194, but had five homers in 69 at-bats.

So, was the lack of power due to a lingering leg problem?

“I don’t think it’s leg driven. I think he is focused on the middle of the field is what it looks like to me,” Joe Girardi said before the Yankees’ fourth straight victory. “Maybe less concerned with hitting a home run with a runner on base as opposed to getting him in. It looks like he is taking what they have given him and he hasn’t over-swung. He is being very productive and driving in runs and I love it.”

Since returning, Rodriguez has hit two homers and drove in six runs in 13 games. He was 5-for-14 (.357) with six RBIs with runners in scoring position. Thursday night he had a sacrifice fly in the five-run fifth and an RBI double in the seventh.

In the last six games, Rodriguez had multiple hits in four of them and batted .385 (10-for-26) to raise the batting average from .180 to .222.

In his second Triple-A start Wednesday night, Luis Severino threw six shutout innings against Charlotte and allowed three hits, walked one and struck out seven. It was a lot better than his first outing, but not good enough to put the 22-year old right-hander in line for a promotion to the big leagues yet.

“He threw some better sliders and better changeups,” said Girardi, who looked at all 75 pitches Severino threw. “But I still think there is work to be done with the location of the fastball and the consistency of the off-speed, but I did see some better sliders.”

Severino, who was being viewed as a future top of the rotation starter after a solid debut last season, went 0-6 with a 7.46 ERA and was placed on the DL with a right triceps strain in the middle of May. He made a rehab start for Single-A Tampa and was optioned to Triple-A.

In two starts for SWB, Severino is 1-0 with a 2.79 ERA.

Yankee Stadium now features branded No Runs DMC merchandise.AP

The Yankees’ marketing department has come up with a T-shirt that has “No Runs DMC” printed on the front. It’s a play on Run-DMC and refers to the pitching prowess of relievers Dellin Betances, Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman. The shirts surfaced in the clubhouse prior to Thursday’s game and were on sale at Yankee Stadium for $39.99.

“It’s kind of clever,” Girardi said.

Miller didn’t know the genesis of the shirts.

“I don’t know exactly who coined it,” Miller said. “You can’t pick your own nickname. It seems like they are having fun with it so we will take it.”

The Yankees are 12-1 this year when Jacoby Ellsbury and Brett Gardner each score a run. Ellsbury scored one and Gardner two in Thursday night’s victory. Gardner went 3-for-4 and is hitting .556 (15-for-27) during a seven-game hitting streak. In that time he has raised his batting average from .211 to .261.

HOPE WEEK has been very good for the Yankees in the community and on the field where they have won 16 of the last 18 games during HOPE WEEK. Overall the Yankees are 28-10 since HOPE WEEK was introduced in 2009.

Phil Simms believes the Jets will sign quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. The two sides have been locked in a contract dispute. “They haven’t hit the drop-dead date yet,” said Simms, who visited with Girardi before the game on the field. “There’s time to get this done.”
